Herndon High turns 100

Who could have thought that Herndon High School could possibly be one hundred years old? And yet it’s true, according to the Reston Connection.

Herndon High School celebrated a century of existence Saturday, Nov. 5 with a performance by one of its signature institutions. The Herndon High School band, the oldest in the county and one of the most acclaimed, welcomed former teachers, staff and students to celebrate.

Kathleen Schoelwer, director of bands at Herndon High School, says the department has been preparing for the event since she began at the school.
